- the compounding unit could be any conventionally used compounding or extruder unit, preferably a co-rotating or counter-rotating twin screw extruder, or an internal mixer such as a Banbury type mixer or single crew extruder such as a Buss co-kneader or a conventional single screw extruder.
- Static mixers such as Kenics, Koch etc can also be used in addition to the compounding or extruder units mentioned in order to improve the distribution of the filler in the polymer matrix.
- the extruder or compounding unit is equipped with one or more vacuum degassing units along the screw or screws, with or without the use water stripping units.
- the function of a water stripping unit is to add small amounts of water into the melt upfront of a mixing and a decompression and vacuum degassing section. The resultant of this is to bring down both the smell and odour, as well as reducing the amount of volatiles in the final compound.
